Know before you go
Please make sure that you arrive at the meeting point at least 15 minutes before the tour departure and that you check-in at one of our front desks inside our offices (unless you choose a tour option where you meet your tour guide directly).
Please note that all our group tours are NOT wheelchair accessible. Visitors with walking disabilities can not opt for a group tour either- as it is virtually impossible to keep up with our Italian tour guide. In this case, we highly recommend choosing the option of a private and more personalised tour. Our tour guide can adapt to your circumstances and choose a more comfortable route by avoiding stairs and go at a pace most adapted to your needs.
Pets, unfortunately, are not allowed in any of Rome’s main attractions or museums, including the Vatican Museums. St. Peter’s Basilica may spontaneously close for religious services, mass preparations, or ceremonies on rare occasions. In these last-minute/second cases, we cannot provide discounts or refunds, but we will provide you with a more detailed tour inside the Vatican Museums. In this rare case, you might have to come back on another day and visit the Basilica by yourself.
St. Peter’s Basilica itself is free. The Dome of St. Peter’s tickets are not included in the tour price (price €8 stairs & €10 lift).
